Chicago Fire Training Facility Breaks Ground on Near West Side
City officials and Chicago Fire FC owner and chairman Joe Mansueto joined community members at the Jane Addams Family Resource Center to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Fire’s new performance and training facility in the Roosevelt Square neighborhood on the Near West Side.
The new facility will feature a 53,000-square-foot, two-story performance center, two-and-a-half hybrid grass pitches and three synthetic turf pitches. The hybrid grass pitches will feature a hydronic heating system, and an insulated dome will cover one of the turf pitches from November to March each year.
The new facility will be built on Chicago Housing Authority land and, as part of a long-term lease agreement, the Fire will finance the development of the multi-million-dollar facility and provide an $8-million community investment for the rehabilitation and preservation of nearby CHA housing and the creation of indoor and outdoor community spaces.
